In a business-minded move, the Mer­cy hurst College Board of Trustees ap­proved the formation of a legal cor­poration to be known as the Glenhurst Corporation. Glenhurst Is a separate entity with the main intent of a for-profit corporation, whereby the Col­lege Is strictly a non-profit institution.

The Board chose to establish the corporation, because of their acquisi­tion, through! gift-purchase, of the former Barrett's Restaurant located on East 38th Street. Plans are nearly com­pleted for the opening of the Laker inn.

Mercyhurst College assumed a $300,000 debt in acquisition of the restaurant, which it is leasing to the Glenhurst Corporation.

According 4o John-J. Maus, Mer­cyhurst College Director of Finance and President of the Glenhurst Cor­poration, profits from any Glenhurst business ventures will benefit the col lege and will, in various ways, help to defray tuition costs to the students. Up

'Although the College loaned the Corporation $15,000 for initial expense, it is to be paid back with interest. Funds will not be taken from the Col­lege to support the Corporation, Maus said. 1

Mercyhurst College Director of Stu­dent Services and the Vice President of the Glenhurst Corporation, E. William Kennedy, sees the\ move as purely a business one and one that will benefit the college tremendously.

Jim Lieh, Controller of the College will serve as the Secretary-Treasurer of the Corporation, r v ?

MSG notes

t' Orbita to } debut in \ February

The first Mercyhurst Student Government meeting will take place Sunday, September 15 at 7:30 p.m. This is a good time to see what MSG Is all about. .. . '- j %

As It presently stands, MSG check cashing hours will be: Monday from 12-1:30 p.m., Tuesday from 10 a.m.-l2, Wednesday from 10-11:30 a.m., Thurs­day from 12-2 p.m., and Friday from 2-4 p.m. .s *£ $

MSG's big event for the fall term Is the lecture series titled, "Orbita", centered around the topic of Russian television. MSG will show several hours of prime time Russian program­ming followed by a lecture to be given sometime in February In conjunction with Columbia University.

The Student Activities Committee is sponsoring -booster buses to all the away Laker football games. Watch for campus announcements for sign-ups.

form Glenhurst Corporation Garvey sees the operation of the cor­poration in conjunction with the col­lege similar to 'the way hospitals are run. He. points locally to St. Vincent and Hamot which run for-profit testing laboratories and ambulance services under the association of the non-profit hospital facilities. jj

Under a special restricted fund, Mer­cyhurst College took over the expired contract of KC Foods for the college cafeteria facilities. Also involved in the takeover, under the direction of John Washington, are the food preparation for St. Mark's Seminary and the day to day operation of the Clipper's Cove in the Student Union. The Cove will be run as before with student managers.

According to Dr. Garvey, there will be no noticeable difference t in the r.afAteria food service to the students. All of the KC Foods personnel were re­tained on staff.r r I

The takeover came about when the contract with KC Foods was due for ex­piration and by the decision of owner Keith Crouse to leave the food service business. \

John Washington feels that the col­legeI* takeover will result in more cooperation between the cafeteria and the HRM department, "which is what it's designed to do."

He continues, that there will be more continuity between cafeteria and seminary meals. iY,Tba menu at St.

Mark's is a run off of our cafeteria menu. Everything will be In stock down here. The only inventory kept at St. Mark's will be breakfast food," com­mented Washington. HRM students will be responsible for preparing breakfast for the seminarians under the direction of two student managers.

In other related college news, Mer­cyhurst College has expressed an in­terest in acquiring,the on-air position of 1400 AM. This opportunity came about when the Seggi Broadcasting Company decided to sell WSEG 102 FM. Jet Broadcasting, current owner of radio station WJET 1400 AM, has been actively pursuing the acquisition of the 102 FM radio position, making the 1400 AM position available for purchase.

As Dr. Garvey explains, there are 30 bays from the time of initial purchase as a challenge period for the other area radio stations. If there are no challenges that is followed by 30-45 days of waiting for the Federal Com­munications Commission to approve the final transaction.

Assuming there are no obstacles or setbacks and WJET acquires 102 FM on the radio dial, Mercyhurst College may then begin the same process for their attempt to buy the 1400 AM dial position and 3 acquire ;an operating license. Mercyhurst College is still stu­dying the economic feasibility of such a move but has expressed interest in it to round out the school's Communica­tions Department.

Laker Inn awaiting grand opening By Betsy Lantz

Thursday, September 19 has been tentatively set as the opening date for the Laker Inn located at 1523 East 38th Street. '' % f*

Formerly known as Barrett's, the Laker Inn Is currently under renovation and will offer. the Erie community casual dining in a nautical atmosphere.

Mercyhurst College received the restaurant on a gift-purchase basis from former co-owners Charles Dailey, Jr. and Mike Barrett through their rela­tionship with college trustee Charles Dailey, Sr. The building, land and billboard were appraised at $455,000. Restaurant equipment was recorded at a net book value of $103,000 for a total of $558,000, according to Director of Finance, John J. Maus. The college assumed a debt of $300,000 in aquisi-tion of this property.

The newly formed Glenhurst Cor­poration is leasing the Laker Inn from the college, Maus stated. This legal ar­rangement allows the Inn to advertise and maintain a liquor license, which it would be unable to do under non-profit College auspices. ^ The liquor license, still pending state approval, will cost the corpora­tion $25,000. F

The Laker Inn has hired a profes­sional staff under the management of Dan Bukowski.f v | *

Bukowski, a 1975 Hotel Restaurant Management graduate of Mercyhurst, has held many positions in the HRM business, including Assistant In­nkeeper at the Holiday Inn South, Food and Beverage Manager at the Edinboro Holiday Inn, and Assistant Manager and General Manager at the University Club. '>. f

Bukowski is looking forward to utiliz­ing Mercyhurst HRM students through co-ops and Internships. He sees such practical experience as the key to future employment.

"Students will be exposed to every phase of the restaurant business," the manager of the Laker. Inn continued, "from menu planning and bartending to ordering, and receiving food and public relations."

The establishment of a commercial restaurant for the benefit of HRM students was one of the primary goals outlined in;the college's Five Year Plan. The realization of this goal has generated much of the excitement felt by those working with the project. ,i

An enthusiastic Bukowski defines the main concept for the Inn as "great

menu ideas." •** Full-time chefs Maria Poingnard and

Russell Leone will prepare a diversified menu ranging from pizzas, soups and sandwiches to seafood, beef and veal. A lounge menu will offer finger foods and sandwiches. I

Including the lounge area, the total seating capacity is approximately 140. When the bitter winter months set In on Erie, diners at the Inn will be able to relax by the 48 inch fireplace which is being installed. [ As Maus, President of the Glenhurst Corporation, sums It up, "The Laker Inn is here to offer a good, competitive­ly priced product with excellent ser­vice in a comfortable atmosphere."

Welcome to MSG OFF

1 the Welcome to "MSG: Off the

Record". In the ensuing weeks this column will contain the communications of the Mer­cyhurst Student Government Executive Board to the rest of the student population &: This is the first time in re­cent years a project like this has been tried In conjunction with The Merciad. The purpose of the column is to basically keep an information line open to the students concerning MSG and its dealings. ' Of course MSG is an­ticipating ;. an exciting and fulfilling school year. We have already made some major plans in areas of lectures and entertainment for the present term. Also, the Student: Ac­tivities Committee has compil­ed its calendar of events and has once again filled'every week with popular activities for students taking a break from studies.

For the first time SAC will provide buses to every away football game, except for Fall Weekend.

Jin the area of sports, foot-ba l l , soccer , women's volleyball, golf, cross country, and crew embark on new seasons and MSG will try its best to promote support for every' team. The thing to remember Is that for the rest of the year these athletic teams and others will par­ticipate in your school's name so you as a student of Mer­cyhurst should respect and support these teams as much as possible.

In the end, we are asking all

ECORDc

students to get involved with available activities because it Is the core of what college life is all about. Mercyhurst is an individual entity which we have all chosen to live in and only we can make Ittthe best college environment possible.

There are many issues.fac­ing the student? body in this term alone. The prospect of fraternities on campus, cam­pus housing, issues, Judicial Board selection, upcoming elections, and the formation of the Glenhurst Corporation and its operations, and a ]local restaurant. These Issues con­cern everyone involved with the 'Hurst and if you wish to do something about it Mer­cyhurst Student Government is open to all opinions and ef­forts. The first; meeting]of 85-86 school lyear will take place at 7:30 p.m. in Zum 114 oh Sunday, September 15.

Again, welcome to Mer­cyhurst College and remember only the students can make their college government a viable force on campus. Thank you for your time and we will see you Sunday.'

| Feasibility of Pool to be studied

By Betsy Lantz A study will be conducted to

estimate the feasibility of a swimming pool complex to be located on the Mercyhurst Col­lege campus and owned joint­ly by the College and the City of Erie.

The natatorium proposed would house a fifty meter pool, to be used primarily by Mercyhurst students during the school year and by the City of Erie during the summer months, according to College President* Dr. William P. Garvey. •under the terms of the agreement between jthe col­lege and the; city, the total costs of the study are not to exceed $15,000., £

The study is being con­ducted by van Dijk, Johnson and Partners, architects of Cleveland, Ohio.

Dr. Garvey stressed that the study is only to see if such a facility would be feasible.

"We initiated this because we had heard the city was looking for a place for a pool," the president stated. "And since we're interested in a pool, it will be interesting to see if this kind of an idea could work."

He continued, "Our primary goals are to take care of the academic needs of the school. That means the library, the equipment in the depart­ments, and the financial aid endowment for the college. So the pool is very low on our priorities right now."

It will probably be six mon­ths before the subject of the pool is-even looked at again, Dr. Garvey concluded. <

Senior HRM and^Compyter major Ken Dyer will be a special recipient of ten awards at the ROTC;Award ceremony on September 20 at the Gan­non University Zurn Hall (Room 104).

Due to water coming into the building and damaging collections of books a new roof had to be put on the building. Sixty thou­sand dollars is the cost to put on the new roof with the ma­jority of money coming from the Building Assessment Fee paid by students at the beginn­ing of Fall term. The remaining amount of money is coming from the General'fund

Little Theatre (to host it Night, Mother"

Mercyhurst College will raise the curtain for the academic theatre season on September 20 with the 1983 Pulitzer Award winning "Night, Mother" by Marsha Norman. * "Night, Mother," directed

by Paul C. Iddings, features Mina Eisenberg and Tracey Harris in the mother-daughter roles of Thelma and Jessie.

The play was first produced at the Actors Theatre of Louisville {in 1981. It was just recently made available to non-professional productions and newly appointed director of the National Playwright's Showcase (NPS), Paul Iddings, was quick to obtain the rights for another Erie premiere.

Iddings points;to "Night, Mother" as a perfect example

of how a new American play is discovered, makes it to Broad­way and is .recognized as outstanding drama. "That is the potential hope of Mer­cy h u r s t ' s N a t i o n a l Playwright's Showcase for last year's production of "Tomatoes, and Beer", which has caught the interest of "A Chorus Line's" producer Joseph Papp," Iddings added.

Renovations seen about campus Over the summer and during

the first weeks of school, students may have noticed that Mercyhurst College is receiving a major facelift through several renovations.

One of the most noticeable renovations is the redesigning of Garvey Park. Previously, Garvey Park was constructed with black tar with a large sun­burst design radiating from the park's center. J

The new park will consist of red b r i cks la id in to a geometrjc pattern with slate sidewalks. Integrated into the park are a few benches and many trees. According to Harold George, ̂ Director of Maintenance Operations, no cement will be used to keep the bricks and slate in place. The slate and bricks of Garvey Park are currently being held into place by sand.

It seems that this may cause a couple of problems such as the bricks coming out of place because they may not be held into place securely. Another problem jjmay be the chipping of the slate blocks that are used to mark the sidewalks. j

Around the edge of the park the soil will be sodded and fix­ed up, according to George. The redesigning of the park will f be accomplished to the tune of $15,000. The money for this project Is coming from the Building Assessment Fee, the $150 fee that students pay at the beginning of fall term to cover major repairs of the col­lege and improvements.

It has taken two weeks to complete the park to the stage that it is at now. Approximate­ly another week and a half will be needed to completely

Bricks and slate make debut in Garvey Park.

finish the park. George has anywhere from two to six maintenance workers working on the park depending on the workload for the day.

Other areas of renovation that students may be aware of a re t h e d o r m i t o r i e s , townhouses, and apartments. McAuley Hall received new carpeting on both wings of the first floor and the first, se­cond, and third floor lounges received new brown chairs.

Baldwin Hall main lobby received new furniture which consisted of brown and orangejjwall to wall carpeting and 20 new brown chairs.

According to Phyllis Aiello, Director of Housing and Safe­ty, Egan lounge received new furniture but will also be remodeled. The walls willlbe replastered and repainted. Also, the radiator will jbe repainted. fj

All apartments on Briggs Ave. were furnished with fire extinguishers this summer. In the past, only fa few of the Briggs Ave. apartments had fire extinguishers. ta

• In addition to the normal wear and tear of the buildings being taken care of, many rooms in the townhouses, apartments, and residence halls were repainted.

Alt monies used for the renovations to the residence ha l l s , apa r tmen ts , and townhouses came from the generallfund. The money that students pay for room even­tually goes f back* into ..the dorms, apartments, and townhouses for repairs and improvements.

Faulty dryer ) costs college $10,000

By Betsy Lantz The fire department doused

a blaze Tuesday night, August 20, in the Mercyhurst College Campus Center laundry room.

The blaze was triggered in a clothes dryer3by~ a malfunc­tioning gas valve which failed to close. Subsequently the temperature in the dryer escalated from 500 to approx-i m a t e l y 1300 d e g r e e s Fahrenheit.

Head Football Coach Tony DeMeo and Assistant Coach Joe Buffalino were^in the gym area} when the fire alarms

: sounded around 9 p.m. Tr i f -f̂ Jhougft -.Ifacf&s & false

alarm," DeMeo said, "but when I went down to in­vestigate it, smoke was com-

ing from the laundry room. When I opened the door, I was met with flames and smoke."

DeMeo then went upstairs for a fire extinguisher. By that time, however, the fire had spread to the drop ceiling and was out of control. The fire department, summoned by Buffalino, arrived and ex­tinguished the blaze.

According to Director of Finance John J. Maus, the primary damage was from smoke which rose to the of­fices and gym area. *

Clean-up costs, which in-c l u d e r e p a i n t i n g ^and deodorization, are estimated at $ 1 0 - 1 2 , 0 0 0 , M a u s concluded.

In the business... I had a quaint little editorial written about the new academic

year and getting involved In college. It was a true twist of Irony when Mercyhurst College took my as-of-then unwritten advice and became active: active in buying up local Erie businesses through the formation of the Qlenhurst Corporation. ]

Now Pm all for capitalism and the free enterprise system, but was always under the impression that Mercyhurst College was more Involved in the business of HIGHER EDUCATION. Leave trying to double this year's tuition intake and other monetary in­vestments to E.F. Hutton and Merrill Lynch.

Trying to "diversify" Mercyhurst's interests will only lead to a lesser concentration of the real job at hand: education.

I understand some of the reasoning behind the move, namely that any (potential) profits from the ventures will be reinvested in the college. That's money that would have had to come from tui­tion increases. But that's a mighty big gamble that such a small college like this shouldn't be making with its budget funds. As someone once told me, this is a small college and everyone has to give up a little to make it run.

A college is supposed to provide academic opportunities to Its students. The recent acquisition of the Laker Inn is aimed at one of the most overworked and overextended departments at the i college, that being the Hotel Restaurant Management Department. And the expressed interest in acquiring a radio sta­tion would affect another overworked department, namely the Communications Department. Students in these departments frequently pull double and triple duty in their respective depart­ment activities. ,Ci. On the subject of finances, I am still rather dismayed about the college loaning the corporation money. I am rather curious to know from where that money came. Talking with the Director of Finance last spring in regards to this year's tuition increases, I was puzzled to realize that the college^had not sufficiently allowed for increases in costs to them in such areas as utilities and other expenses that go up annually. Essentially, the impres­sion I got was that this year's operating budget was "tight".

I doubt that the loan money came from the Capital Campaign. I know the campaign has been successful, but not that suc­cessful. Also, buying a bar (and that's basically what the Laker Inn Is) and possibly a radio station were not the intention of the Capital Campaign. sr. T T ? i

J Mercyhurst College has now expanded into the Erie business community while so much work is still needed ON campus. There are so many other things that need the attention and budget of the college before it continues buying up "failing" businesses. How about more financial aid to keep some students active in those overworked departments? How about making more of those necessary on-campus renovations? And whatever happened to the long-ago proposed Student Union complex? ii

Ask the Board of Trustees. Better yet, ask the officers of the Glenhurst Corporation. * f * n.a.r. From the "IPs Just My Opinion" Department- It seems that everywhere I looked this summer, there was John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band. Could it be that Mercyhurst College was privileged to see a 'rising star'? Even the big name rock and rollers had to start somewhere. Last spring's Special Project was not adequately supported by the student body. Perhaps the true net worth of a ticket to that concert will be better judged a few years from now.

Letter to the Editor Condition of apartment disappointing to resident

Dear Editor, As summer drew to a close

and school rapidly approach­ed, I looked forward to living in an apartment as opposed to living in the dormitory. After visiting friends' apartments last year and seeing how nice their apartments were, I was eager to move in this year to arrange my own.

The day I walked into my apartment for the first time I was not quite sure what I ex­pected. I was frustrated and disappointed with the condi­tion of the apartment. It was obvious that no one had checked the apartment or taken the time to do the necessary cleaning and maintenance work. A list of the more noticeable problems includes: a broken leg on one of the beds, which is still be­ing replaced by a dictionary, a bent and ripped screen, a broken kitchen table, a bloody sheet on one of the beds, a large bowl of potato chips and

pretzels under one of the beds, a hole in the wall in the bedroom, a hole in one of the doors and others.

The entire apartment was filthy and the normal amount of cleaning supplies brought was not enough, so a trip to the store was necessary. The task of cleaning began and continued for what seemed to be endless hours, and if my parents were not there to help I probably would still be cleaning.

It is not the cleaning that really infuriates me, but the principle of the matter that the apartment should have been thoroughly checked and that someone obviously did not do their job. I expect a little more for the amount of money I pay to live in the apartment. After 'notifying the Director of Hous­ing, Phyllis Aiello, about the situation, I was directed to maintenance to give a list of the problems in the apartment.

At the time this is being

written, maintenance has yei to come to make repairs. I understand that this is a busy time for maintenance, but if a check* of the apartment was made at the end of the year or this summer there would be no need for repairs at this time. I appreciate the time and cooperation given by Ms. Aiello, but I Wish my trip to her office would not have been necessary.

After speaking with other occupants of the apartments, there seemed to be a consen­sus that the apartments were in poor condition. Being a stu­dent at a college that seems to pride itself on its exterior, I am saddened to have to take the position that in this situation Mercyhurst has a beautiful ex­terior but no heart. I would hate to see conditions such as these dr ive >away good s t u d e n t s f r o m a f i n e institution. \

R e a c h i n g o u t i n A p p a l a c h i a : M y g r e a t s u m m e r v a c a t i o n By Mary Beth Joseph

"Welcome back," "How was your summer?" These are just a couple of comments being made around campus. You hear them time and time again and you may wish you had a tape recorder so you wouldn't have to repeat yourself. These past three months may have been fun and exciting or perhaps they were boring and uneventful but, either way, vacation is over and those days of summer will either be forgotten or they will hold a special place in our memory. |

The? latter is how I will remember this summer-with a special.fondness that will not likely be forgotten. «v«|

I had the exciting and challenging opportunity to work in Vanceburg, Kentucky this past summer. Vanceburg is part of the Appalachia Mountain Region which runs from southern New York to northern Georgia and Alabama and Is the home for many poor and oppressed people. L My two week stay, along with a number of other volunteers and teachers, was devoted mostly to planning,

preparing, and teaching the Bi­ble School lessons for a group of 10-25 children ranging In age from 5-15 years old. These lessons centered around the Parables and each day there was a different theme depen­ding on the Parable that we covered. Many of these children are poor and unchur­ched, so this program gave them an opportunity to be ex-posedjftto some of the teachings of fthe Bible and gave them a chance to get

together^ with their friends. Our classroom was very informal-a simple! sheltered picnic table.

The Bible School program is aimed not only at the children but towards their families as well. Through our presence, the other volunteers and I tried to help the self-image and to help them recognize their self-worth through our, attitudes and acceptance off them as persons and friends. One of

our aims was to reach the total family in as many ways as possible. t .,

While in Kentucky, I not on­ly had the opportunity to teach but to also live in community. I met some wonderful new friends with whom I was able to share and receive in liturgy, recreation, discussion,,; and prayer. We also shared in the cooking, cleaning and general mission duties.

Living in the Kentucky hills for two weeks proved to be in­teresting, eventful and unique. What fascinated me was the weather.! Not the* fact that it was hot and muggy but rather how the sun shone so brightly amidst «the . rainshowers that made their appearance almost daily. One evening the rains really became fierce and before I knew it I found myself mopping up a resident's flood­ed basement until the wee hours o f the morning. But, no matter how late I happened to stay up, I never worried about getting up late; a mooing cow right below my window made sure of it. I was awakened faithfully at 6:30 every morn­ing. It sure beats an alarm

clock! Witnessing a real down

home jamboree, learning how to square dance, hiking, and attending an Appalachian Festival are just a few of the other activities that kept me plenty busy. ^ *

i Teaching, living in com­munity, meeting new friends, b e i n g s u r r o u n d e d by breathtaking scenery, and learning how to square dance -what more could you want out of a summer?? ?•

How was my summer vaca­tion you ask? - It was great!

SUMMER HIGHLIGHTS By Susan Marcy

Now that summer has come to a close, the students and faculty of Mercyhurst College have time to reflect on the dif­ferent ways they spent their summer vacations.

Mercyhurst dance instruc­tor June Hines spent her sum­mer on Galveston Island, Texas, as Dance Captain at The Lone Star Theatre.

Hines' duties from May through August involved fill­ing in for any injured or sick dancers and keeping all 24 dancers "looking sharp." The company of "70 performed the musicals, "Hello Dolly" and "The Lone Star." j£

"I spent most of my summer performing," HinesB stated. "We had a lot of injuries." This was her second year at the outdoor theatre which seats 2,000, primarily vacationing families. The I985 season at The'Lone Star was cut a half week short by an imminent hurricane, Hines concluded.

Leslie1; Lucchetti, a 'junior criminal justice major, spent her summer productively. Luc­chetti had a co-op with the Har bore reek • Youth Services where she counseled juvenile delinquent boys.

"As a child care counselor, I was there to offer guidance,

support, advice and en­couragement whenever need­ed. I got to know each boy and spent time talking and just listening to the individual pro­blems of the boys. Working w i t h t h e m w a s v e r y rewarding."

Lisa Martin, a sophomore nursing major, worked as a lifeguard in her hometown of Oil City, Pa. "I liked my job because I was able to ap­preciate the summer weather. It's nice to know I can relax and enjoy my summer jobs while I'm in college. When I graduate, my job will be much more demanding."

Another sophomore, Greg Latimer, worked as a heavy machinery operator in Warren, Pa. Greg also spent some time at the Kinsua Dam on his family's boaC ^

Peggy Hirsch, a Junior, worked with " developmental-ly delayed" children this sum­mer at the Broadmoor School in Lake County, Ohio. The summer program was run by the Deepwood Center for the Retarded. Hirsch, who is an art therapy major with a minor in special education, worked with a^class'of sii-frKee-^ear-olds.

" I had the youngest .group so it was a real challenge. Our daily activi t ies included

lessons In art, music, gym and swimming. We also had week­ly field trips." Hirsch believes

^ that "experience is the best knowledge. What I gained this

^summer was learning how to deal with retarded individuals, helping them to develop dif­

ferent skills while having fun." She will return to the school next year as art specialist.

Junior HRM major Leigh Kennedy worked as a guest service representative at the front desk of a Holiday Inn in the Pittsburgh area. Ken­nedy's responsibilities includ­ed booking reservations,

•answering the switchboard gand handling bills along with -various kinds of paperwork.

Kennedy said of her job, "it was a great way for me to get a headtstart with what I would like to pursue in the future."

"I worked at 'the WQLN television station -this* sum­mer, shooting interviews for the station and working on field productions," said senior communications major Jeff Vona. A native of Erie, Vona is also the Music Director of WMCY. This year Vona will be introducing WMCY listeners to 'progressive music.'

COUPON EXPIRES 9-18-85

By Brian Sheridan For Hollywood, this summer

was a disaster. There were no major blockbusters and few critical achievements to make the summer of 1985 a memorable one. The only hap­py note of the season was the return of the -Western to the silver screen. Instead? of classics, the film studios decided to go for the bucks and release films that they hoped that would be commer­cial successes. In that capitalistic tone, we now offer "The Real-to-Reel Awards" for the best and the worst we have seen this summer. *--

BEST-SCIENCE MOVIE-For some reason, Hollywood has jumped on the idea that nerds with computers make good movies so we were overloaded with movies like "Weird Science" and "My Science Project." The only| one of these films actually worth see­ing was a little film called "Real* Genius." Starring Val Kilmer, it was about a genius student who tries to breeze through his last year of col­lege but ends up developing a weapon for the military. Hilari­ty and chaos ensue.

SCARIEST MOVIE-"Fright/| N i g h t . " This f i lm had something to do about vam- I pires and starred Roddy McDowell and Chris Sarandon but that's about, all I know because I spent most the time with my eyes closed.<

BEST ACTRESS-For her per­formance In "Mad Max-Beyond Thunderdome," Tina Turner cops the award for best actress in a film season that was devoid of any strong roles for women. She shows great promise as an actress as well as being today's best female vocalist. - *

BEST ACTOR-Anyone who s a w " S i l v e r a d o " w i l l

remember Kevin Costner for his high-spirited, acrobatic perform nee as Scott Glenn's irresponsible younger brother. Costner deserves a lot of credit for just staying in the film. His last role.in the "Big Chill" ended up on the cutting room floor.

M O S T G O D - L I K E PERFORMANCE- A little girl prays that a man would come to save her town in the western "Pale: Rider", and we see s the stonefaced Clint Eastwood riding across the plains. Then the girl reads from the bible about this man and , l ook ing up, sees Eastwood out her window ready to be a cowboy Moses. { N a u s e a t i n g . B E S T CARNAGE-"Rambo: First Blood 2." This movie would have made General Patton pro­ud with its war action scenes. The plot of "Rambo" isn't ex­actly "King Lear." As Rambo, an ex-commando, Sly Stallone goes to Vietnam to blast apart millions of screen extras in g l o r i o u s , b i g - s r e e e n Technicolor. Not for the squeamish, liberals or people who like films with plot and dialogue. -

WORST MO VIE-By far and away, the hardest movie to sit through was "National Lam­poon's European Vacation." A limp sequel to "Vacation" has Chevy Chase and family aimlessly driving around Europe in search of laughs.U The kids in this movie wanted to stay home. They had the fight Idea. ^

BEST MOVIE-Michael J. Fox's film debut, "Back to the Future" grabs this top honor. It was really the only film this summer that had originality, creativity and laughs. The triple-whammy turnaround en-dlng was! a gasser.

Records broken

Lakers crush Brockport By R J . Zonna

The Mercyhurst Laker foot­ball team opened the 1985 football season right .where they left off last year by crun­ching Brockport State 45-7 in their season opener.

The 'Hurst, ranked.il8th In the Football News preseason poll, established records in rushing yards (463), total yards (578), and first downs rushing (25) in the contest. Leading the Laker surge was Tim Ruth who rushed for 116 yards and scored three TD's. It was the fifth time in his career that Ruth has eclipsed the century mark.

Mercyhurst got on the board first when Eddie Ricci rolled in from two yards out with only three minutes gone. Tim Wilkins extra point made it 7-0. The score was set up when Brockport punter Dan Davis* 4th down pass fell incomplete.

The Lakers made it 9-0 when another punting miscue enabl­ed-Greg .Mitchell to tackle Davis in the endzone for a safety. Mercyhurst added another score on Ricci's 5 yard scamper. Wilkins conversion made it 16-0.

Brockport tallied its only score when Reggie Richard­son rambled 57 yards with 4:31 left in the second quarter to make the score 16-7.

The Lakers took the ensuing kickoff and drove 68 yards scoring on Tim Ruth's one yard run. Craig Zonna rifled a pass to Ruth for the two point conversion which put the 'Hurst up 24-7 at halftime.

Mercyhurst opened the se­

cond half by going 70 yards In five plays, Ruth recording his second TD from .a yard out. The Big Plays were a 16 yard Ricci to Zonna pass and John Loshelder's 47 yard run to the Golden Eagles one yard iine where Ruth -scored. Wilkins kick put the Lakers up 31-7.

Ruth scored his third and final touchdown with 4:53 left in the third stanza. The score capped a 99 yard drive that took 11 plays and ate up four

Finish eighth

Runners open season By Pat Callahan

The Mercyhurst College cross-ccountry team opened up its season Saturday at the Buffalo State Invitational. Twelve teams from the sur­rounding area participated. In the men's race, 130 runners ran the 4.7 mile course. The first runner to cross the finish line for the 'Hurst was senior Ken Dyer with a 34th place finish. Laker Darrel Richard was 67th, Don Beveridge finished 68th, John Clint Huff­man was 69th,^ and rounding

out the top five for the 'Hurst was Scott Devone with a 76th place finish. Overall, the Lakers finished eighth in the meet.

A new addition to this year's cross country team is April Hannah. April ran to a 34th place finish out of the 78'par­ticipating women. "Peewee", as she is called by teammates, looked impressive as she ran the 2.8 mile course.' : ; J
